StoryBoard Artist// Production I.G

Inbetween Animators At Work

Production I.G is a Japanese base studio, who has worked along side many productions and projects within it's short life time. Responsible for the animated sequence in the first kill bill film and even the entire ghost in the shell series.

The storyboards the studio produces are incredible to say the least. Full of character and personality that is unique to the studio and the themes associated with it's artists.

Here are some examples of storyboards the studio produced for the animation...

I love how the storyboards translate to the final animation. Even the style, even the colours and even the emotion. I also love how the style isn't translated at all between the storyboard and the final frame; in fact it's more or less perfectly reproduced.  The art director for this production was inspired by traditional Japanese wall scrolls, which is clear when comparing the old school Japanese style to the style of the storyboards and animation.
